Microsoft Courier Surfaces Again
Back in the Fall, a curious video for a curious product surfaced. The video was for the Microsoft Courier, a small pen based computing device that promised to put just about every current tablet or netbook to shame. At the time, I simply wasn’t sure that such a device would ever be available as [...]

If you long for the days of a 7″ netbook, then the product Engadget spotted might just be for you. Actualy, I’ll skip right to the punchline, and spare you the suspense- it is only $85. I have to admit at the current price of two tanks of gas, my standards go way down, and [...]

22. February 2010 | by Jonas
This is a video that came out of the Mobile World Congress, brought to us by our colleagues over at Netbook News. It looks to be a prototype, but I can definitely see why they liked what they saw. By combining an ARM Freescale chip, with the Android OS, the price should be reasonable. The [...]

At CES, there was one Windows tablet that got quite a bit of attention- the HP Slate. This device is the antithesis of the iPad as it is a full featured device, complete with a full OS, and full processor. On top of that, it can run flash, and do anything that any other Windows [...]

With the cookie cuter sameness of netbooks, when something, make that anything, comes out that doesn’t run Windows XP, or Starter Edition, powered by an Atom N270 (or more recently N450), it definitely makes a splash and gets us to pay attention. The Compaq Airlife 100 does break the usual mold. The 10″ LCD display, and [...]

This is a short video of the ExoPC doing its tablet thing caught on video. I like the speed that I am seeing, and how easy it looks for this thing to control. On top of that, notice how they keep showing this on the side, and the USB ports being exposed. [...]

It is starting to look like 2010 will be the year of the tablet PC. With Apple entering the market with their iPad, other manufacturers are also rushing into this market segment. The latest tablet spotted is from ExoPC. This tablet is expected to be available in March, at the $499 price point that seems to [...]

22. January 2010 | by Jonas
There has been a whole flurry of new netbooks in the last month. Acer is generally known for their more affordable gear, and their new model that uses the latest Atom N450 chip is the Aspire One 532h. I have to admit that with a price tag of $299, sometimes it almost seems a little [...]

16. December 2009 | by Robert Nelson
It seems that when the latest pre-beta version of Jolicloud was released last week, despite it being available for anyone and everyone, not everyone was going to be willing to take advantage of the update immediately. Case in point, those like myself who had been using Jolicloud and had a current installation that they did [...]
